Commitment
There is a difference between a commitment and a promise.
A promise is a guarantee that a specific thing will be done, no matter what.
A commitment is a guarantee that something will be done based on the current understanding of reality.
A promise is delivered despite the costs.
A commitment can change when the context or variables shift.
Leaders make commitments.
The ability to change does not diminish the impact of a commitment.
It allows it to grow alongside your understanding of the situation while remaining true to your intention.
A good commitment fosters communication and brings clarity.
Next time you are stuck, ask: “what am I committed to?”
Also ask, “what have I committed to?”
If there is a gap, seek to communicate and clarify.
